Description
The number one New York Times bestseller-from the founder and president of the Children's Defense Fund
"This book is from the heart of a woman who practices each lesson she preaches."-Hillary Clinton
The Measure of Our Success is a compassionate message for parents trying to raise moral children, a tough and searching book that ought to be required reading for everyone.
Edelman speaks powerfully to her three sons about the mothering she gave them-mothering, she explains, that could not ignore other people's children who were in greater need.
In the book's centerpiece, "Twenty-Five Lessons for Life," we're invited to listen as a loving and extraordinarily committed mother gives her children lessons to live by.
The Measure of Our Success is an open letter to all America, and remains a timely message of hope and purpose for everyone.
